Must See! Tyler Perry Lays Hands on TD Jakes Following MegaFest

*In the wake of the incredible MegaFest event, put on by Bishop T.D. Jakes and his staff in Dallas this past weekend, something very interesting happened Sunday morning at Jakes’ Potters House church.

We’ll just cut to the chase. And you can see it for yourself in the video below: media mogul Tyler Perry donated $1 million dollars to Jakes’ effort to build a youth center and then, in dramatic fashion, laid hands on Bishop Jakes!

“I’ve just been touched to give $1 million,” Tyler Perry said in the Sunday morning service on the video. Perry then tells how he didn’t even know Jakes was building a youth center.

“God I don’t know what you’re doing but I heard your voice,” Perry said. “When you hear the voice of God, you move.”

Leading up to the million dollar donation and the laying of hands, Perry talked about being in attendance at one of MegaFest’s biggest events, “Manpower,” and receiving a blessing. He also recalled how Pastor Paula White asked him to write a check for $113.00 … representing Psalm 113. Well, Perry wrote his check for $113,000, describing how much he loves giving.

“When you have favor with…” Perry pointed to the ceiling, referencing the Lord.

“They don’t understand it in Hollywood, but I’m going to tell you something about the blood of Jesus,” he continued to the enthusiastic audience. “My mother didn’t have much to give me. But she had Jesus.”

Perry attempted to hand the microphone back, but was urged to continue speaking and morphed in to preacher mode.

“Don’t worry about your enemy. Don’t worry about your hater. He will bless you. He will lift you,” Perry proclaimed. “Sometimes you spend too much time worrying about your haters.”

And then it happened, although it looked like it may have been pre-planned, Perry began prophesying good things over Bishop Jakes’ life, and laid his hand on Jakes’ forehead as he leaned back seemingly under the power of the Holy Spirit.

That was a powerful message given by brother Tyler Perry. It was truly filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. It brought tears to my eyes and joy to my soul today. The words he spoke are so true. When haters try to hold you back or keep you down that’s when the Lord shows up and shows out. To God be the Glory

Don’t hate if you were not there and did not see it for yourself you can’t talk I was there and he gave out of his heart mr perry has a heart for our kids and he does so much for our kids where do you see that he got in trouble by the law like all this other stars or give to our kids so you can’;t talk and you are just hating and that is not God like

Not surprised because I’ve been said long time ago that Tyler has more to come and that more is leading the lost to the Lord. I hope that he continues to use his gifts to bring in more brothers and sisters to the Lord.

no that is not ridiculous that is God moving in on him I was there and the Holy Spirit was in the church and he gave to the church for the kids our kids that need some where to go for help to find god I was there and I felt god in there so hard and it was a great message and for you to say that maybe your mad because you don’t have it like that to bless people with but who are you to judge your not god and you don’t know what god has in plan to you better hope that god blesses you for judging him

TP has enough money to wipe his ass with a million dollar for yearly until he dies and he’ll still die a wealthy man. My point is this, a million dollars sounds liike a lot to you and I, but to these guys it’s chump change that excites people like you when they “give back.” Calm down…it’s tax write-off for one and it’s good for his image/self-promotion!! Notice how people like TP seem to only give to the well-known/popular/tv ministers. Why hasn’t the spirit moved him to give up his fancy cars, his multi-million dollar homes in ATL and LA, his fancy clothes, etc? The spirit never moves these people to say “I really don’t need this shit!!” Please…… give me a break!!

(To no specific comment)
Why judge, So many times, we want to focus on the actual exchange of the money who’s hands it actually touches or falls into. That is not for us to worry about. Just let us be obedient to GOD and receive the blessing from being obedient. Let the worries of what happens with the money after that be the cares of someone else. Whether it is a $1 or a Million NOTHING CAN GO IN A CLOSED HAND, so tight, never wanting to sow anything except to temporarily exalt yourself. So do your part. And from what I read there is no sin greater than the other, TD Jakes may not need another Million and Tyler may cross dress, but lets focus on those youth that are going to be blessed through the center being built.

So in short you’re saying turn a blind-eye to what happens right in your face and allow people who claim to be men of God to continue to fatten their pockets and live lavishly while the people they claim to want to help continue to poor what little they have into their coffers in hopes that doing so these “men of God” will assist them with blessings from God via their connection to God???? PLEASE!! It’s time for people to wake up and call a scam a scam and call bullshitters, BULLSHITTERS!! Were I a man of God none of the unnecessary extras that these men obviously love would not mean a thing to me. The idea of doing Gods work and seeing people who don’t have at least have the necessities would be what I would be concerned with. These men lose no sleep knowing that many of the people in church with them have nothing while they have way more than they need. So pardon me for calling it how it is and not being willing to give them another luxury…..the luxury of blind belief so that they continue getting over!

Let me ask you this, whether you yourself choose to turn a blind eye or not, what can you as a person do in this situation to bring about a change, we have no control over another person they to will answer to GOD! who will judge all. My blessing come from God, how ever it is transferred to me that is his choice. What I am say is this, Proverbs 13: 22. The wealth of the sinner (finds its way eventually) into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up. This is GOD’s word and his word does not EVER come back without accomplishing what it is set out to do.

Wow, the church has learned to play church really good. Talking about how much “you” this and you that, how favored or how blessed you are has nothing to do with preaching the gospel, Jesus Christ and him crucified. How is making cussing movies and then throwing in a little so called religion glorifying God of the bible. I’m sure God is not amused nor is he fooled for one minute with this circus show.

no that is not ridiculous that is God moving in on him I was there and the Holy Spirit was in the church and he gave to the church for the kids our kids that need some where to go for help to find god I was there and I felt god in there so hard and it was a great message and for you to say that maybe your mad because you don’t have it like that to bless people with but who are you to judge your not god and you don’t know what god has in plan to you better hope that god blesses you for judging him God gave him a gift and if he don’t tell it the right way how are you going to know it is for real. God uses people to do his work to get the people to understand and no there is not all that much bad words but your telling me you have not said a bad word in your life and if you say no your lying remember what Jesus said to the people that wanted to throw stones at this woman for adultery and Jesus drew a line across and said to them ok throw the first stone if you have kept all the commandments really people are so quick to judge and not look at them self wow this world has so much haters not do you think you love God and still hate other people and do you think you would go to heaven really no not at all God said in the bible if you love me and don’t love your brother then you don’t love me the gate of heaven is for everyone but if they follow god way not mans way then you might go to heaven why are you question God work where you there. I was there and I know I felt the holy ghost

wow better hope god don’t cut your blessing off and for you to say buffoon your just mad because you don’t have that much money to give or bless someone with it that is all don’t hate
hope you can get in heaven with that acting like that really I don’t think so

Yeah, yeah, yeah……just keep on feeding the pig while their families continue to advance an yours continue to wonder when God will make your life like theirs. Defending these people is just asinine. Ask yourself this one simple question, “why do they obviously care about plush lifestyles when so many people are in need?” If you can only come up with a bullshit answer, please save it. They care more about material bullshit than they care about people who are in need…..it’s that simple!!

Answer: Youth Center (those people that are in need) Our ways are not the ways of GOD, he uses all things for the good of those who love him! Who knows what child may benefit from this center, causing him to be saved.

It sad, TD Jakes has been a respected minister. This nonsense with Taylor Perry saddens me. It is not by works nor our position nor how much we have that shows the level of Favor that we have on Christ. It is His word that say we have favor in Him. Because of His Grace. Because this man waves 1 million that Brother Jakes allows this man to out His hand on Him. Money does not impress God. It is Faith and Love. I am sorry of I might be babbling but it is just sad.

Listen, you can do no wrong when you have big money and you are willing to share it with these “ministers.” I wish someone had the balls to ask them to do something for free or ask them to give up some of their fancy items and just watch how ungodly they act!

Of course Jake supporters are going to support the actions of Perry. Are you going to expect anything different? It is unfortunate that church today has become nothing but a multimillion dollar, WWF style glitz and glamour, celebrity, decree and declare, money making, prophetic Megafest spectacle. No surprise why so many people have left the church.

no that is not ridiculous that is God moving in on him I was there and the Holy Spirit was in the church and he gave to the church for the kids our kids that need some where to go for help to find god I was there and I felt god in there so hard and it was a great message and for you to say that maybe your mad because you don’t have it like that to bless people with but who are you to judge your not god and you don’t know what god has in plan to you better hope that god blesses you for judging him God gave him a gift and if he don’t tell it the right way how are you going to know it is for real.

Bishop Jakes and Tyler Perry are very awesome powerful men of God and the favor of God is over their lives.I love them both dearly. BUT…Who gives Tyler Perry the authority to lay hands on the Bishop??? I think thats out of order.What spirit is he releasing while blessing? My my! And yes their followers will say it’s okay, I have a problem with that.

you can’t tell nobody who can put hands on the Bishop if you are not God and you don’t know if God had him to do that for the Bishop really are you God and do God have to give the ok from you to Do what God wants to do really wow So you question God doing I was there and you Could feel the holy Ghost in there so deep and I don’t question God that is not my job so why is it yours job did god give that job really ok see what God tells you when he is judging you and telling you what all you did and said and was thinking to

HMMM, I’m not sure if this is out of order with GOD and the church? I believe it is..

I didn’t think a LAY PERSON of the church or else where are to lay hands on a Bishop for blessing?

A lay person could pray for the person, place, protection and rid sickness and disease..BUT LAY HANDS ON A ELDER BISHOP?

I mean I’m aware Tyler was a youth minister between the ages of 18 and twenty something.. but if he’s not ordained? I didn’t think a LAY PERSON are to lay hands on a Bishop or Pastoral officers of the Church.

And it’s absolutely impossible that these 2 people aren’t just full of it and God has absolutely nothing to do with their behavior. That’s simply not possibly is it? SMH!! If anyone else would’ve done this people like you would be raising hell, but because it’s these 2 people (wealthy, well known, and supposedly men of God) they get a pass. If my mom thought for one minute I was playing with the lord when I was a kid she’d slap the hell out of me. Well, I think my mom needs to see both of them!

I personally think?, there’s a huge difference between “judging” someone vs. recognizing a false prophet! And Daivd?, didn’t “do all lat” for “God” & God KNEW it! & called him ‘on it! In short….only god can say “what will happen TO” someone, but as far as man goes?, God DID give Us the right to call & cast out….the fakes. And to me?, this right heeah?, is not only false prophecy but also….ego ‘on steroids!!, blaspheming AND nothing more than….”theater” at it’s LOWEST! But hey?, thaaaaaat’s just my POV. Chuuuuuuch!…”D’OH”!!! (said like “Homer Simpson”)

no that is not ridiculous that is God moving in on him I was there and the Holy Spirit was in the church and he gave to the church for the kids our kids that need some where to go for help to find god I was there and I felt god in there so hard and it was a great message and for you to say that maybe your mad because you don’t have it like that to bless people with but who are you to judge your not god and you don’t know what god has in plan to you better hope that god blesses you for judging him God gave him a gift and if he don’t tell it the right way how are you going to know it is for real.

Are you God and does God have to ask you first to do his work really wow you so funny because God know everything and everyone and were you there at church if not then stop talking I was there and I felt the holy Spirit it was so strong in there so don’t tell God how to do his job

@Michie Thank you for speaking the truth!! Our God is not in this mess! I was thinking the same thing when I saw this video. How can they claim to be a followers of Jesus Christ when their Fruit says something diffrent…The Bible says: that you shall know them by their fruit… and their fruit seems to be rotten. Praying that these brothers repent and turn to only true, and living God Jesus Christ. and just a reminder: I use to be a huge follower of both tp and tdj back in the day, until I did my own research and found out that they both serve other gods..

no that is not ridiculous that is God moving in on him I was there and the Holy Spirit was in the church and he gave to the church for the kids our kids that need some where to go for help to find god I was there and I felt god in there so hard and it was a great message and for you to say that maybe your mad because you don’t have it like that to bless people with but who are you to judge your not god and you don’t know what god has in plan to you better hope that god blesses you for judging him God gave him a gift and if he don’t tell it the right way how are you going to know it is for real.

but your not god and you can’t do what god does and God is always in control and if you were not there and you only see what you want to but I was there and I felt the holy ghost there and it was so strong and I’m from out of town and if you said that then you know its a sin to judge others and your not god to judge them nor tell God how to do his work

Sometimes folks get what they call ‘the spirit’ mixed up with emotionalism. God is not the author of confusion. And just keep in mind that there are ‘many spirits’, and they ain’t all from God. Be careful!

Amen#2 Rockaway….your comment is best one so far because it’s the most accurate one. I don’t mean any disrespect or harm but after watching this video, the first thought that came to my mind was…ok, as Tyler Perry is walking up to Jakes, his ‘men’ run up behind him. How did they know to do that? ….it seemed like they were cued to do it….like it was said, that was a spirit but not from God…sorry….we have to be very careful. Satan continues to transform himself into a ‘angel of light’……this wouldn’t have caused the same ‘reaction’ if it was someone from the auidence or someone who doesn’t have a celebrity status or a 1millon check to donate to TD Jakes…or one of us on this message board. Let’s be real!

You know, it’s so funny how people will go to great lengths to defend their favorite Singer, Pastor, Preacher or actors regardless of their lifestyles(who claim to be a “Christian”) and not Jesus Christ or his word.. I can tell the people who don’t study their word…2 Timothy 2:15 says: We are to study and show ourselves approve unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. And Just because you feel something in the service does not necessarily mean it was” God” or the “Holy Spirit”, there are other false spirits that can mimic the Holy Spirit. And as far as judging goes, I would recommend reading 1 Corinthians 5:12, we are suppose to judge those within the church, not without! Wake Up Church, and rightly divide the word. And another thing, If these brothers are suppose to be “Men Of God” then how come they make questionable movies and plays? #SpiritOfDumb

People quickly defend their idols and celebrities rather than God and the Word. It’s ridiculous! Even the Holy Spirit has order. Giving millions of dollars (even if it is Oprah money) doesn’t authorize laying hands on a Bishop if you’re below a Bishop.

Laying of hands signifies the passing of authority and blessing. Blessing and authority comes from Up and flows down, not down and Up, hence why Perry theatrical show doesn’t make sense in the under biblical standards.

Instead of praising God for the blessing, it turned into something I can’t even name.

It seems that people are in awe of what happen, how about this pray to God in Jesus name and ask Him to reveal the truth to you.Disputing over something you have no control over makes no sense to me. Lord’s will ask Him. God bless

The issue isn’t whether or not “what was said” is from the bible or if SOMEbody got something from “what was”.. said! The issue hear is the “spontaneous authenticity” of this act…peeeeeeriod! And as others have pointed out?, the “premeditation of the prePARation is PROOF, Ruth!!, that this was a staged incident, peeeeeriod! And BTW?, the “psychosis of religion” can have maaaaany people “feeeeeelin AND heeeeeeearin” it! Hell….some people who have “seen “Tupac, Biggy AND Elvis” also suffer from a similar ailment. Wah waaaaaah! And that doesn’t mean what “they” have experienced , is actually “real” eeeeithah!! It just means…”they saw/heard what they WANTED to, peeeeeeriod! Now…:don’t get it twisted!!!, there ARE sincere “spiritual” acts of this nature all over the world, where “hands are laid” & something does/could happen. Buuuuuuut there’s also a huge difference between being “spiritual” vs. being….religious!! (peeps ALWAYS twist that up/or simlly don’t know the difference!!) And I believe “this” was nothing more than….”religious theater”, peeeeriod!!! Again…they walked up there “in-place” for WHAT”!!?? They just happened to all be right there incase…WHAT happened!!?? Do they normally follow bishop around “on stage”, like that!!?? Was TDJ reaching for the mike??….NOPE! So…why was “HE” even walkin up thurr??!!! See…it’s this saaaaaaame kinda “deliberate denial”, why this country is EXACTLY what Johnny Depp called it, a few years ago….”.politically immature”, (to paraphrase) I mean….WTH did “Ma Dea” become…..”ordained”!!?? Really?….REALLY!!??…? G ALL THOH!!

I read this article simply to see people make excuses for TP and Jakes which is to be expected from black folks who think that neither of them can do no wrong. A Joe Blow of the streets wouldn’t even be allowed to touch T.D. Jakes beyond the for the cameras and for the people handshake maybe, but Tyler Perry get’s to “lay hands” on him and he played along with it simply because he’s passing him a million dollar check. These ministers are so full of themselves and many are simply full of shit to be frank. I don’t know who’s worse, the ministers or the gullible people who defend them. From Creflo to T.D. to Paula to Eddie Long and the list goes on of the pastors who are selling Gods word to the people who can least afford it to fatten their pockets and live the lives of sinners. Why should they even care to live in multi-million dollar homes and drive cars that cost enough to provide shelter for 5-10 families? They are no better than the sinners that they claim to want to save!! Bring it on defenders of these fakes…..bring it on!!!

To God what is to god and to……? i’m just scandalized how christian can just accept and swallow such things? where is it written what did TP? And you are saying that his preaching was touching, not even a verse he spoke out… come on guys don’t be distructed, God is near to come back and i think we should worry about our states as they will be no forgiveness on that day cause what happened is not biblical.

My heart breaks at this it’s a shame . Have we trampled the Blood of his son? Have we called evil good? Have we? I hear the word sprirt being used and word’s like enlighted . That’s right it’s new age mixture on every level and people can’t discern because there drawn away by there own lust. I would never attend a gathering that Orpah is speaking at has you ever denouced her claim to following false God’s ? NO ofcourse not ! It’s sad to see what’s happned to the Black church in America . Have we wept at the state of where we are ?They speak lies in my name say’s the Lord but it’s NOT me they say peace when there is NO peace and it’s NOT me and God is going to shake every false idol in these last days. We need a wake up call . How can you mix the holy and unhloy ? How can you make the house of God temple of thieves .

The term Bishop is used so often by so many – who r appointing these men Bishop other than themselves – these men occupying a church r only doing what their congregation allows them to do – so really who r in error – I say everyone especially the ones that buy into this foolishness

Rich give to the rich. If some of these mega churches would send one or two of their ministers out in the world to visit little churches, I think God will bless them with a donation sent from the church. Just one time could make a difference to small churches. We have churches with ten to twenty members who are on social security, trying to buy food, medicine, pay the church’s power bill, or buy Bibles. Pick any small church, in whatever city or state. Now that would be something to shout about. What mega minister really need someone to purchase them a car. Buy a small van and donate it to a church so young and old people can get to church. If every Minister that has over four-thousand members choose a different church every week, that can be as effective as when they beg old people for money to support their ministry when they own mansions, planes, theme parks, etc. The church with elderly members sometimes have to choose to buy meds or food. Mega Churches, give them a one time donation to buy food for the members, just one time will save them a few dollars to go with their next month check. WWJD?
